    I received my Cane and Derby Appendix holster yesterday. When I have worn it more and for extended periods, I will post a more complete review. However, I thought I would go ahead and give you my initial reactions.

    Appearance- Appearance is not a big deal since this is a "concealed" holster, but it reflects overall workmanship. The molding is nice and crisp, and edges are smoothly finished.

    Fit-Retention of the gun is perfect. Not too tight, not to loose. Being kydex, there is an audible click when the gun is inserted or withdrawn.

    Concealability-Outstanding! The gun is held tightly against my side and disappears completely under a sweatshirt.

    Comfort-I've only worn it a short time, but it appears to be very comfortable.

    I thought I had one gripe. The gun rode too low for me to easily get a combat grip; the spacing between the gun butt and my belt was tight for my fingers. Looking a second time, I realized that there were additional holes for attaching the loops. Using the second set of holes raised it up to a perfect location for a nice clean draw.

    I know some people don't like rubber belt loops (Blade-Tech), but I do. They seem to grip the belt better than leather (both are better than clips).

    All in all, I think I am going to like this holster.

    Woodlark, it sounds really good!

    Ian called me yesterday and and let me know that my rigs (I ordered a Pardus too) should ship today or tomorrow. They are waiting on some hardware that should have arrived on Monday. You could tell in his voice that he was really disappointed that he couldn't ship my stuff any faster and he did offer to make it up to me with the same that they offered you. I really can't wait to get my gear!

    Any way you could post a picture of the holster and one with you carrying? The website pictures are kind of lacking...

    Can anyone comment how much the Cane and Darby pushes the butt of the gun into the body like the construction of the Invictus/Looper/Shaggy.


    Thanks

    I have no experience with the looper or shaggy, but the Cane and Derby definitely holds the butt in tight.

    I'll try to get some pictures taken tomorrow afternoon.

    I think I have decided to order the Cane & Derby for my G23. Any recommendations as far as going with that size or should I go with a 17/22 size? Seems like I have seen some recommendations as to using a 19 size for a 26 due to it keeping the pistols position more stable, etc, for some appendix rigs.

    In my opinion, the longer holster will help keep the grip frame pushed against your side and help alleviate the tipping sensation you get with a shorter barreled gun.

    Following on that then, my duty gun is G35. Would getting the holster sized for it be wise so I could use either or would the 35 size be too much of a good thing?

    Yep, order for a longer gun and it will help it from falling out, plus after you AIWB may find out that you can carry a bigger gun.

    I started out with a MP9C and quickly found out AIWB let me easily carry a MP9FS. More rounds, longer sight radius, same concealbility,

    The G35 is a HUGE gun.

    How tall are you?

    I think a lot of people are missing an important point. Appendix carry may make any gun disappear if you've got a good holster but you will sacrifice mobility and comfort if there is too much gun in your pants. The reverse is true in that if the gun is too far out of your pants you will not be able to bend at the waist.

    There is a fine balance to be maintained. I really do believe that the G19 is the PERFECT sized gun for appendix carry with the P30 followed very closely behind it due to its 3.86 inch barrel.

    I personally carry a 9c in a full size appendix rig.

    Im 5 5 tall, or short that is.

    To me AIWB is by and far the most comfortable carry method I've run across. I will say that the holster and belt selection are much more critical than any other method. Also the position of the holster can make a huge difference, even as little as 0.25 of a inch.
